1104 Wright Ave, Chesapeake, VA 23324

Why this home stands out

What sets 1104 Wright Avenue apart is its unbeatable position at the crossroads of two major military installations. Norfolk Naval Shipyard and USCG Base Portsmouth are each a four-minute drive away, making the daily commute almost a non-issue. Add three parks within a half-mile, a walkable cluster of shops and eateries, and a classic mid-century footprint with four bedrooms, and this address punches well above its size.

AVALON and the Chesapeake real estate market

1104 Wright Avenue sits in the South Norfolk corridor of Chesapeake — a city that consistently ranks among the safest and most livable in Hampton Roads. This part of Chesapeake carries the easy, unpretentious character of a working waterfront community that has been quietly evolving for decades. Streets here are lined with mid-century homes, many of them owner-occupied for generations, giving the area a grounded, neighborhood-first feel. Cascade Park is just two-tenths of a mile away, Atlantic Avenue Park is three-tenths, and Lakeside Park rounds out the trio at four-tenths of a mile — so green space is genuinely part of daily life, not just a bullet point. Chesapeake as a whole offers low traffic congestion compared to its Hampton Roads neighbors, a strong sense of community identity, and easy access to I-464 and the Downtown Tunnel for anyone commuting across the water.
